if you are a right handed shooter take your left hand and make a fist. Put your fist up against a wall and get in your bow shooting form and get a measuring tape and measure from the wall to the corner of your mouth. that should be pretty accurate

i say go to the nearest archery shop and let them do it for you

Yea its not me its my girlfriend I was goin to measure her and see what hers is shes wanting to get into bow hunting. Prolly be easier just to go to the bow shop.

Measure her wingspan. Arms outstretched in a natural position, and then divide that number by 2.5. That will get you a lot closer than other ways.

there's your answer bro. Nothing like paying for a mistake, cut arrows can't be uncut!!

Works like a champ. Was spot on when I measured for myself and it was spot on when measuring my daughter.

x4. Don't forget to drop a half inch off of that once you have done the math, for a string loop if she is going to shoot with a release.

That only gets you close at best! Most will shoot with the results, but depending on your anchor that can change and the measurement you get does not take this into the formula. I use the closed fist against the wall with the body straight and shoulder toward wall, just like your form when shooting. Then measure from wall to corner of mouth.
